The spy team is headed to Poland, and Sinclair’s (Hugh Dillon) choice to tell Frommer (Thorston Maderlay) his son is dead has major consequences as Harry (Connor Price), Alfred (Jack Laskey) and Neil (Warren Brown) attempt to arrange transportation from France. Meanwhile, Aurora (Evelyne Brochu) tries to mend her friendship with Sabine (Livia Matthes) during an eventful train journey with the Fabers.

Here’s a sneak peek:

A tale of two trains
One of X Company‘s finest hours–Season 2’s stellar “Fatherland”–took place on a train, and “Promises” doubles the feat by centring the action on two very different trains headed for two very different destinations.

Aurora and Sabine alert
The budding friendship between Aurora and Sabine was one of the highlights of Season 2, but watching them in “frenemy” mode is even better. Evelyne Brochu and Livia Matthes for the win.

Who is Heidi Adler?
Heidi is feisty, capable and more than a bit mysterious. Both the character and actress Madeleine Knight are intriguing additions to the show.

Tense times for Faber
Faber’s first-class ticket to Poland doesn’t result in a first-class experience, which allows viewers to see him in a new light and Torben Liebrecht to turn in another top-shelf performance.

Tear-jerker warning
This episode contains heavy subject matter–even for X Company–and has a gut-wrenching conclusion. Prepare yourselves the best you can.
